“I would rate this hotel as a 3-star hotel rather than a 4-star one.”
The food was varied, but I would have liked a wider selection of fresh fruit.

The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere in the hotel was nice. The food was decent, it is not the highest quality and I was bored of it after 5 days but they have very nice variety of food and there is food almost all the time (they also do feed you quite a bit of proteins). The location was amazing and the pool area was very nice in my opinion. The cocktails they serve are very nice as well.

“Highly recommend”
Very nice hotel, clean, with good food & water included. All personnel are just amazing, best attitude ever. Special thanks to Alex from reception who helped to plan a route by car for the sightseeing. Beach is 10 min walking, but we were with a car, so this was not a problem

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Solimar Ruby Hotel, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish.

Dining at their amazing all inclusive restaurant was a highlight, with a menu that featured both delicious local cuisine and international favorites.

“I ordered a standard room, but I was offered an improved option. It was unexpected and very pleasant”
The hotel is excellent. The food is very good and varied. The drinks were also varied. Friendly staff, quiet in the room. Everything you need was in the room. We arrived at 09-00 and could already have breakfast. Our room was ready at 10:00 and we did not have to wait long

“It could have been better. The hotel is not a 4 star hotel in terms of the overall look and the state of the rooms. I do”
The staff was great. Really nice and smiling and very welcoming. They handled any complaints and tried to make things better.

Boutique hotel atmosphere, but still offering large-resort facilities. Tasty food and beverages' with many traditional Greek dishes in addition to international cuisine. Very professional bar service until the late hours

“Well done, Solimar Ruby Royal”
Beginning from Check-in, everything was running smoothly. Very nice stuff, starting from reception to the cleaning stuff. The restaurant was always very clean and the food in a nice quality. Also the cuisine themes like Italia, Tex-Mex and Greek were done very well. There was always a place to find, in- and outdoor to have a breakfast or dinner. Both bars were very comfortable and the drinks delicious. All in all, a beautiful stay.
